It seems like there are many different versions of mkinitrd for
different distributions, but the one I have (Slackware) wants me to
specify which modules I want included in the initrd.  Does yours?

I'm not that familiar with initrd, but it is possible to mount it and
look at its contents.  Have you tried this?  What does it show?

"mkdir tmp; zcat initrd.img > unzipped; mount -o loop unzipped tmp"
worked for me when I just tried it on a sample initrd I had here.
Doing a "modinfo" on the included modules should make things clear.
